Skye Anderson is a girl with many dreams, though she often kept them to herself. She didn’t open up to anyone about her personal life. Well, no one except for her boyfriend, Andy. He was the only one who understood her. Or so she thought. Skye’s dad left her and her mom when she was three years old. Although it was fifteen years later, she still had trust issues with anyone that came into her life. She didn’t get out very much during her high school years. She much rather spend her time alone or with Andy. High school had just let out and Skye graduated at the top of her class. But leaving high school meant one thing: college. Skye had her heart set on the college of her dreams: University of Central Florida. But going to the college of her dreams meant leaving California, her mom, and Andy behind. At UCF, Skye meets McKenna, her roommate who has lived in Florida all her life. Will Skye’s friendship with McKenna give her chances to open up to someone new? Will Skye let go of her past with Andy and finally open up to someone else? Or will she seclude herself once again and continue to be Hard to Love?
